Hmm, on second thoughts, I doubt dear old Aunt will stay away from the Christmas jolly and cheer, so maybe I should pack her, a few crates of red wine, and some cook books, off to KitchenSlut's place for the duration of the LNP door kock appeal? Of course if they both get too engrossed in cooking up a storm in the kitchen, I can always transport my best pig dog, Devil, over there for some effective protection from the marauding hordes of LNP wanna be rapists. I guarantee no-one will "knock and ring and tap until the moon is bright" with Devil around.

At least he has been getting out and talking to people.Has anyone heard or seen of Kirsten Lisina?Nothing in the media, nothing in person, just sitting back hoping to slide into power on her belly on the back of Labour preferences and continual personal slander against other candidates by her Party heads. Don't debate any issues for Cairns Kirsten just keep up the personal attacks to distract people.

I'm not aware of Kirsten indulging in "personal attacks" anywhere. However I do recall Gavin King used his position as Editor of The Cairns Post to corrupt the impartiality of the position for his own self-serving purposes in writing years of personal attacks on ALP representatives. If you dish shit out, you have to expect to get it right back. That's a fact of life.

Gee Mr Grumpy- I've run into Kirsten at Piccones IGA a few weeks back and then again at Rusty's the last two weekends. My mother-in-law said she had Kirsten door knocked her place in Woree and she was at my kids presentation day on Tuesday!

I think Gav is doing a passable job of keeping his feet out of his mouth at the moment.The ALP candidate is invisible.All the reputation management and media training from his team of experts must be sinking in.The Hull curse will kick in and his own cash for comments on 4CA saga may rattle his resolve.I think Gavin Kink is in for a wild ride over the next 6mths.

I contacted Gavin King for his help regarding the crimes and abuse of elderly people. Gavin King had written an article in the Carins Post January 2010 and made some good points, so I contacted him about what had happened to me. We spoke about the matter and he said he would make an appointment next week to speak in person with me. That was 2 weeks ago no return phone call. I think the comments about drunken women is just a publicity stunt, as they say in Hollywood there is no such thing as bad publicity, all publicity is good publicity, even bad publicity. Politicans are moral cowards, they vote on same sex marriages while we pensioners are bashed robbed and left destitute. We are discriminated against by our own Govts, State and Federal.from Bashed Granny 83 years of age Australian Citizen.

One of the many strategic mistakes of Gavin King's short career was to try to poke fun at residents of the Myola Valley who didn't happen to like the idea, favoured by his greedy mates, of turning this pleasant rural biodiversity hotspot into rows upon rows of little boxes, connected to Cairns by an LA-style highway.

King enjoyed plenty of self-indulgent jibes such as this while working as a "hack-with-an-opinion" at the local Daily Compost.

He probably thought he'd got away with that one. Wrong! Up here we have long memories and sharp pitchforks. We may not bother to buy The Compost, but we do get informed of its contents on the rare occasions they matter in the slightest.

If any of King's hapless foot-soldiers ever visit these cooler hills, they'd do well to travel incognito. Any sign Gavin King is door-knocking around here might well occasion unpleasantness. I shall probably keep a bag of wet chicken dung handy, just in case, to offer extremists a non-violent option when displaying their ire.

Alternatively, Gavin could do the right thing for once, front up and apologize in person for ALL the banal spew he vomited forth while employed as a Murdoch bovver-boy.

Many of us might accept his apology if he showed real remorse. Walking the length of the Myola Road in sackcloth, subjecting himself to regular scourging, tolerating the taunts of grubby schoolchildren and pleading for forgiveness would be a start.

Bryan, you should direct that at Gavin. He seems to want his ambit to extend well beyond Cairns! This includes some policy statements which would actually harm his own anticipated constituents for those in other electorates! Who knows what seat Gavin thinks he is standing for apart from being a proven liar!
